With the rise of large language models and generative AI, researchers have spent the past few years figuring out how to apply that technology to robotics. For many, the answer is physical intelligence, the next major breakthrough for the robotics industry. At the 2025 Robotics Summit & Expo at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, MIT CSAIL Director Daniela Rus will give a keynote presentation on the topic. Physical Intelligence is achieved when the ability of artificial intelligence to understand text, images, signals, and other information enables physical machines such as robots to better interact with their environments, objects, and…
Intel may lay off over 20% of workforce: reportIntel is rumored to lay off more than 20% of its workforce, according to a report by Bloomberg, citing a source close to the matter. It says the cuts are part of a broader strategy to refocus the chipmaker on an engineering-driven culture. Intel didn’t immediately respond to a Reuters request.IBM IBM.N will invest $150 billion in the U.S., including on facilities for quantum computer production, over the next five years, the latest American technology company to back the Trump administration’s push for local manufacturing.The company’s announcement on Monday follows similar pledges by tech…
[Image from Pixabay]The MIT Health and Life Sciences Collaborative recently announced the establishment of the Hood Pediatric Innovation Hub to drive children’s healthcare innovation. Launched in collaboration with the Boston-based Charles H. Hood Foundation — which has committed $15 million toward the effort over the next five years — the hub will focus on developing technologies and treatments tailored specifically for children, meeting unmet needs in pediatric medicine. Leveraging MIT’s life science strengths, the hub will provide seed funding and strategic support for bold, high-impact research projects with the potential to transform children’s healthcare. In addition to supporting researchers with…
Between 2013 and 2024, global private sector investment in artificial intelligence (AI) has surged, with a few countries leading the charge. Recent data reveals that 12 nations accounted for the bulk of global AI funding during this period, underscoring a growing international race for technological leadership. The United States leads by a wide margin, raising $471 billion—more than the rest of the world combined. China follows with $119 billion, while the United Kingdom, Canada, and Israel round out the top five with $28 billion and $15 billion each, respectively.

OpenAI is updating ChatGPT search, its web search tool in ChatGPT, to give users an improved online shopping experience, the company announced Monday. When ChatGPT users search for products, the chatbot will now offer a few recommendations, present images and reviews for those items, and include direct links to web pages where users can buy the products. OpenAI says users can ask super-specific questions in natural language and receive customized results. To start, OpenAI is experimenting with categories such as fashion, beauty, home goods, and electronics. OpenAI is rolling out the feature in GPT-4o (the default AI model for ChatGPT)…
